حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا عَمْرِو بْنَ حَفْصٍ طَلَّقَهَا الْبَتَّةَ، وَهُوَ غَائِبٌ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا وَكِيلُهُ بِشَعِيرٍ، فَسَخِطَتْهُ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ مَا لَكِ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ، فَجَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «لَيْسَ لَكِ عَلَيْهِ نَفَقَةٌ»، فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «تِلْكِ امْرَأَةٌ يَغْشَاهَا أَصْحَابِي، اعْتَدِّي عِنْدَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى تَضَعِينَ ثِيَابَكِ، فَإِذَا حَلَلْتِ فَآذِنِينِي»، قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا حَلَلْتُ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، وَأَبَا جَهْمٍ خَطَبَانِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمَّا أَبُو جَهْمٍ، فَلَا يَضَعُ عَصَاهُ عَنْ عَاتِقِهِ، وَأَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ فَصُعْلُوكٌ لَا مَالَ لَهُ، انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ» فَكَرِهْتُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ»، فَنَكَحْتُهُ، فَجَعَلَ اللهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا، وَاغْتَبَطْتُ بِهِ.

Abu 'Amr bin Hafs رضی اللہ عنہ divorced her absolutely when he was away from home, and he sent his agent to her with some barley. She was displeased with him and when he said: I swear by Allah that you have no claim on us. she went to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and mentioned that to him. He said: There is no maintenance due to you from him, and he commanded her to spend the 'Idda in the house of Umm Sharik رضی اللہ عنہا , but then said: That is a woman whom my companions visit. So better spend this period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum رضی اللہ عنہ , for he is a blind man and yon can put off your garments. And when the 'Idda is over, inform me. She said: When my period of 'Idda was over, I mentioned to him that Mu'awiya bin Abu Sufyan and Jahm had sent proposal of marriage to me, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: As for Abu Jahm رضی اللہ عنہم , he does not put down his staff from his shoulder, and as for Mu'awiya, he is a poor man having no property; marry Usama bin Zaid رضی اللہ عنہ . I objected to him, but he again said: Marry Usama; so I married him. Allah blessed there in and I was envied (by others).
